I have DELL Sonicwall TZ 210 installed in my office. I have almost 60 LAN users. One of the users is extensively using jdownloader software to download movies etc. This results in the choking of the 2 Mbps WAN link. Other users constantly complain of slow internet speed. Kindly suggest if by any means I can block the jdownloader traffic through my Sonicwall TZ 210 device. Thanks in anticipation.

Seems like it is just a downloader that uses Java. You could lock his machine down, remove both the program and Java. Sonicwall can block Java, but mostly in a browser window. Change the file association for the program. Maybe add to your managed A/V software and treat it like a virus. Most of what you should be doing is on the desktop because you won't really know what ports it is using when downloading from different sites.
